Maintenance and Care

Owner Maintenance

Form No. 8R65-EA-03C

All moving points of the body, such as 
door and hood hinges and locks, should 
be lubricated each time the engine oil is 
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on 
locks during cold weather.

Make sure the hood

s secondary latch 

keeps the hood from opening when the 
primary latch is released.

This air filter may be cleaned with 
compressed air and reused, or replaced, 
depending on its condition. Unless it is 
very dirty, simply shake it to remove 
foreign particles. Each time you inspect it, 
wipe inside the air cleaner housing with a 
damp cloth.

Replacing the Air Filter

1. Make sure the ignition switch is turned 

off.

2. Disconnect the electrical connector.

often than recommended intervals.
